Product Description

1. True or False. Justify for full credit. (a) A is an event, and A c is the complement of A,
then P(A OR A c ) = 0. (b) If the variance of a data set is 0, then all the observations in
this data set must be identical. (c) If a 95% confidence interval for a population mean
contains 1, then the 99% confidence interval for the same parameter must contain 1 (d)
When plotted on the same graph, a distribution with a mean of 60 and a standard
deviation of 5 will look more spread out than a distribution with a mean of 40 and
standard deviation of 8. (e) In a right-tailed test, the value of the test statistic is 2. The
test statistic follows a distribution with the distribution curve shown below. If we know
the shaded area is 0.03, then we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis at
0.05 level of significance.
2. Choose the best answer. Justify for full credit. (a) A study was conducted at a local
